How is it that
Two days right after each other
Can be so completely different
And you don't even expect it
The first day you feel everything
All at once
Drowning beneath the waves
Struggling to keep your head above water
But the second day
You feel nothing at all
Dying of the thirst
Of your horrible life
I don't know what is worse
None of them bring benefits
But they are so different
Two separate bunches of pain
